New Sounds Of Africa: Sorie Kondi

Sorie Kondi is a blind singer and Kondi virtuoso (he adopted his instrument’s name as his own) from Sierra Leone. There’s nothing fancy about his production and no team of musicians to distract from the simplicity his compositions. His songs, like “Without Money, No Family” above, are about his tough but resilient life. He also crafts a majority of his own instruments.

Kondi has been invited to the American festival South By Southwest but needs help with travel expenses.

Visit his Kickstarter Page to help bring this great sound stateside.

Saw this here.  See more here.  Amazing and beautiful use of repurposed frames from art framer John Jones for 2010 London Design Week. UK designer Stuart Haygarth was commissioned to create an installation within the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A).
